CoLFAx FRUT-Geo. o. Hayford, who
has a three year-old orchard at Land ar Sta
ton, about two miles this side of Colfax,
yesterday brought to the city samples of
French and Hungarian pruneS, silver
prunes and yellow egg prunes grown on
his place. The fruit is fine as the eye and
taste of a connoisseur could desire, and
speaks volumes for the adaptability of that
locality for fruit growing. The orchard
which produced these delicious fruits is in
the center of the famous Colfax fruit belt,
and at an altitude of 2, 400 feet. The soil
of that neighborhood is composed largely
of decomposed granite and slate, and of
unknown depth, as is shown by the deep
railroad cuts thereabouts None of the or
chards or vineyards up there require irri-
cation, and yet their product is perfection
itself. Mr.. Hayford will have some of his
fruit on exhibition at the State Fair.

noon as the baseball train was speeding
